In Great Luo Heaven, within the Eight Scenic Palace!
Laozi's pupils contracted sharply as he gazed toward Golden Ao Island, his expression grave.
"What... what kind of technique was that?"
Laozi murmured to himself.
As the Leader of the Human Sect and foremost of the Three Pure Ones,
even Laozi was utterly bewildered at that moment.
